The transaction was implemented through two court-based processes – a pre-packaged US chapter 11 process and a Swedish company reconstruction process – to ensure the amendments to Intrum’s financial debt were recognized and given effect worldwide. Coordinated from London, the transaction footprint extended worldwide, involving coordination of legal advice from Sweden, the US, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Greece, Ireland, Poland and Switzerland.

The recapitalization, which completed on July 24, 2025, gives Intrum a stable platform from which to deliver its business plan, and provides opportunity for further deleveraging of the group’s balance sheet.
